Tokyo International Exhibition Center (Tokyo Big Sight)

Local name東京国際展示場(東京ビッグサイト)
Location有明, Tokyo, Japan

Tokyo Big Sight, officially known as Tokyo International Exhibition Center, is a convention and exhibition center in Tokyo and the largest such venue in Japan. Opened in April 1996, the center is located in the Ariake Minami district of the Tokyo Waterfront City on the Tokyo Bay waterfront. Its most iconic feature is the visually distinctive Conference Tower. The name Tokyo Big Sight in Japanese eventually became the official name, and it also became the name of the operator in April 2003.

The center hosts the Comiket convention since 1996 and the AnimeJapan convention since 2014. It previously hosted the Tokyo International Anime Fair from 2002 to 2013. It was a planned venue for the 2020 Summer Olympics hosting wrestling, fencing and taekwondo events, but the reduction of public funds forced the organization committee to choose an alternative location for these events; it instead served as the main broadcasting and press center for the Games.
